Hi All,
making progress on a steel string active pickup electric uke prototype. Inspired by the old gibson 336 thinlines it has a walnut body and neck, hand carved figured maple neck and will have figured sycamore fingerboard. Will come equipped with hand wound custom humbuckers I designed just for these instruments. I use all non rainforest and sustainable woods in my ukes.
The fingerboard you see there is not what will go on it, I use that for reference since it was a throwaway. I still have some finish work to do as well as hardware and electrics installation.
Assume all production kinks are worked out I plan on making a limited run of 10 of these in time for the Lake Anne Uke festival in Reston VA this summer. Here is a pick of a finished lefty les paul inspired one from last year to give you an idea for what it will look like done.
Any feed back appreciated- no pun intended
